The recruiter reached out via phone and email, but the Paris team rescheduled my interview twice. When I arrived, the main interviewer had to leave after ten minutes for another meeting. Another employee greeted me, but there seemed to be some confusion, as if they already had another candidate in mind, and I felt like they were mixing me up with someone else.

Behavioral Presentation

My interview was great! It felt like a really natural chat about my resume, my portfolio, and what my goals are as a designer. The interviewer made me feel super comfortable, and we ended up talking for about an hour and a half. We covered the company, the specific job, and my portfolio. While I didn't get the job, it was a really valuable experience, and I'll definitely keep applying.
